Print multiple copies of certain pages?

2003-05-19 11:16

Is there any support in the API, or is there a trick someone knows to generate multiple copies of certain pages of a report at runtime?

 

Specifically if I have 2 pages that are generated as sub-reports of a larger report and then 2 pages that are the larger report totalling 4 pages, what I need to do is generate just 1 copy of the first 2 pages (the subreports) and a user-defined number of copies of the 2nd 2 pages (the main report).

 

I would like to avoid implementing the main report as yet another sub-report with a wrapper report that determined the number of copies to print which would probably work but would run slower due to duplicative SQL.

 

Any tips on this greatly appreciated.
